Mark schms ar prpard by th Principal Eaminr and considrd, togthr with th rlvant qustions, by a panl of subjct tachrs. This mark schm includs any amndmnts mad at th standardisation vnts which all aminrs participat in and is th schm which was usd by thm in this amination. Th standardisation procss nsurs that th mark schm covrs th studnts rsponss to qustions and that vry aminr undrstands and applis it in th sam corrct way. As prparation for standardisation ach aminr analyss a numbr of studnts scripts: altrnativ answrs not alrady covrd by th mark schm ar discussd and lgislatd for. If, aftr th standardisation procss, aminrs ncountr unusual answrs which hav not bn raisd thy ar rquird to rfr ths to th Principal Eaminr. It must b strssd that a mark schm is a working documnt, in many cass furthr dvlopd and pandd on th basis of studnts ractions to a particular papr. Assumptions about futur mark schms on th basis of on yar s documnt should b avoidd; whilst th guiding principls of assssmnt rmain constant, dtails will chang, dpnding on th contnt of a particular amination papr.

Whr th answr can b rasonably obtaind without showing working and it is vry unlikly that th corrct answr can b obtaind by using an incorrct mthod, w must award full marks. Howvr, th obvious pnalty to candidats showing no working is that incorrct answrs, howvr clos, arn no marks. Whr a qustion asks th candidat to stat or writ down a rsult, no mthod nd b shown for full marks. Whr th prmittd calculator has functions which rasonably allow th solution of th qustion dirctly, th corrct answr without working arns full marks, unlss it is givn to lss than th dgr of accuracy accptd in th mark schm, whn it gains no marks.
